Ah, so this is the source of the anti-AHS campaign. Cleansing your soul on
the internet?
I have been asked to do a tour this year and I have refused. Two times was
more than enough. Why did you do it? What would you do with the award? Are
awards quite important?
Ed was something of a jock over the years, now it is golf awards. What I have
not been able to get rid of are in the attic used by Michael as "army men".
He shoots them with clothespin guns. A beautiful and satisfying garden is
therapy to it's owner, an award is unfortunately something to live up to. It
may ruin your pleasure.
I will propose that our club send Clyde an award as a good citizen of AHS.
Ten years too late perhaps but it would be sincere.
Next weekend there will be five garden sales from arboretums and societies. I
am expected at the AHEMS sale/meeting. I am personna non grata over there
since I wrote a review of the sex obsessed grower named Hanson. I said he
named his introductions from magazines kept under the mattress and that did
not make a hit with the regional worthies. I am tired of contributing plants
to sales - you need bushels of top soil or pro-mix plus pots to prepare them.
Then you go the sale to find lily-of-the-valley, quince suckers, other things
that multiply quickly. Spitback plants is the name around here.
